EVENT DETAILS

About this Course:

The RUHS Wellness Village provides a continuum of care including outpatient and residential care services for mental health and substance use disorders, primary healthcare, and behavioral health urgent care. The facility serves a wide variety of consumers and will be home to a very unique children and youth program that includes the county’s first stand-alone youth Behavioral Health Urgent Care, one of the first licensed Children’s Crisis Residential Program in the state, including a space for parents/caregivers to stay overnight as needed, and the first Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program in the state which will allow for placement of foster youth with the most complex care needs.

In this project tour, attendees will explore how the innovative design and development of the first-of-its-kind RUHS Wellness Village co-locates the continuum of behavioral health, substance use disorder, and physical health services within an integrated campus environment. Attendees will review the challenges posed by a fragmented healthcare system, as well as explore the ecosystem of care and how this design reduces barriers to accessibility, improves care coordination, and creates a seamless pathway from crisis to stabilization, recovery, and long-term health and wellness. The presenters and attendees will discuss how leveraging outdoor spaces and campus amenities support the integration of health and wellness leading to more client engagement and healthier outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

• Attendees will learn how behavioral health campuses cover the continuum of behavioral health care and how this can be used as a tool to improve access and equity in community-based care. Participants will develop an understanding of key design strategies that shift the outcome from episodic intervention to sustained recovery for a healthy and safe recovery.

• Attendees will explore how leveraging outdoor spaces and campus amenities to support the integration of health and wellness leads to more client engagement and healthier outcomes. Participants will get a better understanding of how site design, landscape implementation, and the spaces created by building orientation help create a sense of belonging and increase the rate of success for recovery.

• Attendees will learn how the RUHS campus is pursuing LEED for New Construction (LEED-NC) v4/4.1 Group Certification. LEED points for 44.6% energy use reduction, 15% Tier 1 renewable energy, and onsite carbon sequestration through plantings have been awarded. Features also include a battery energy storage system (BESS), and green roofs.

• The Design-Build team will present the overall project delivery method being implemented for this multi-building campus. They will summarize the role of the P3 delivery method (public-private partnership), the Design-Build team approach and delivery, and how funding structures are shaping behavioral health campus implementation and phasing.
